To support frontline heroes working for the HSE, SEAT Ireland has teamed up with The Mater Hospital as part of a new mobility initiative, writes Trish Whelan.
Neil Dalton, Head of Marketing at SEAT Ireland, says: “One of the challenges the HSE front line staff have right now is trying to avoid being diagnosed with Covid-19. One of the risk areas is when many need to use public transport to get to and from work. To address this issue, we came up with a solution to provide a fleet of EXS electric KickScooters to The Mater Hospital.
“The Mater Hospital has taken delivery of the e-scooters that will now allow their front line nurses and doctors to get to and from the hospital safely knowing that it will help them avoid being diagnosed with Covid-19 or passing it on to other colleagues and other non Covid-19 related patients.”
The hospital are using some of the scooters for staff to move within the hospital grounds to get to and from different locations more efficiently.
The Mater Hospital are delighted with this new partnership and have been inundated with requests for more e-scooters from their front line staff which SEAT are currently sourcing.
